Chapter 1398 Enfeoffment (2)

Feier originally wanted to leave with him, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he stopped. After everyone left, he said, "My lord."

Feier's lord's cry was very crisp, and it didn't sound like someone who had just surrendered.At the same time, when he yelled this, he secretly looked around. It was not surprising that Ferr had already prepared for the disgusted expression on the soldier's face, but what surprised him was that Zhao Hu yelled so smoothly to him, as if Didn't realize what was wrong.

Feier didn't dare to think about it carefully, so he continued: "I think that the most important thing for my family is to let people in the territory know that Mingyue City has changed hands. The mastermind sent troops to guard the border at the same time.

"We must know that the top floor of the castle tower is on fire. Due to the terrain, most of the territory can see it. Everyone knows what is going on with the castle tower on fire. We should act quickly while they are still watching."

"Well, how many troops do you need to send troops to guard the border? Who do you need to guard against?" Zhao Hu asked. He didn't care how the surrendered minister Fei Er would give him instructions immediately after surrendering.

Zhao Hu has this kind of mentality because he doesn't shy away from surrendering. In his opinion, if he is not loyal enough to the original patriarch and is captured by the enemy and persuaded to surrender, then it is normal to surrender to the enemy.

Of course, if the loyalty is high enough not to surrender, there is nothing to complain about being executed.

"About [-] troops are needed, mainly to prevent the superiors and colleagues of the original Mingyue city lord from taking advantage of the fire," Feier said. Although he is not good at military affairs, he is still clear about the routines of these previous territories.

"Oh, we only need defense? The superiors and colleagues of City Lord Mingyue saw that City Lord Mingyue died, wouldn't they send troops?" Zhao Hu asked curiously.

"It depends on whether there is chaos in Mingyue City and whether there are regular soldiers defending it. If there is no chaos and there are many soldiers, they will not send troops; if otherwise, they will attack immediately." Fei Er said immediately without thinking.

Originally, when Zhao Hu heard that Mingyue City still had his superiors and colleagues, he planned to ransack Mingyue City and flee, but after hearing what Feier said, he became interested: "Why did they do this? Could it be that Mingyue City has nothing to do with them?" Okay? Could it be that Mingyue City didn’t ask them for help? After all, they’re all under the same faction.”

Feier sighed and said: "There is no way, because the forces that are close to us have hostile forces behind them that are eyeing them, so if they can't swallow us in one go, they won't move.

"As for relationships, in this chaotic southeast peninsula, even close relatives will turn against each other for their own interests, not to mention colleagues who may attack at any time, so don't even think about asking colleagues for help."

"Even the boss of Mingyue City is the same?" Zhao Hu asked.

"Yes, the boss of Mingyue City is also the lord of this faction. In fact, what he can manage is only one or two cities. The city lords only surrender in name. But sometimes, the boss of this faction can take advantage of the general situation to weaken the power of the city lords under him.

"Like last time, because the other city lords were jealous of the original Mingyue lord's cavalry, they forced them to pay tribute to two hundred war horses. If it didn't cause public outrage, the boss would never say such a thing, and even if he did, he would not bother to pay attention." Feier Said.

"What a strange relationship, is it true that all forces have such a relationship?" Zhao Hu asked.

"Basically, there are only some emerging forces that can avoid such a situation where the ruler is not the king, and the minister is not the minister. However, when the emerging forces become the old forces, they will still follow the old path." Fair nodded.

"Is no one going to change?" Zhao Hu asked.

"Why didn't it happen? This phenomenon is mainly caused by private soldiers and Shi Gao's feudal system, so most forces now give money to heroes instead of conferring on Shi Gao. It's just that the retainers who were conferred before are too big to lose. That’s why it’s still the status quo,” Fair said.

Now Fei Er is a little bit encouraging Zhao Hu to follow suit, because enfeoffing the Shigao territory requires military exploits, but he is not good at military affairs. Since this is the case, it is better to divide the money, anyway, he is the best at making money.

Zhao Hu thought for a while, and ordered to the guards around him: "Let the cavalry work harder, gather troops to patrol the border, and order Juan and Mod to select 4000 troops from the militia and rogue army, and start to station at the border. .

"At the same time, dispatch messengers to the entire territory, ordering all the patriarchs of the wealthy families to pay a visit to Mingyue City, and invite the mercenary leader to come and gather."

After the order was issued, the cavalry team got on their horses and rushed out of Mingyue City without saying a word, and Morde, who knew that the award could not be carried out so quickly, immediately happily selected troops, not letting go of any opportunity for meritorious service.

Only Juan had some complaints. He was sent to the border to garrison just after taking a rest.

Kai Hai, who was not ordered, could only be busy with how to arrange the siege equipment at the top of Mingyue City.

After Feier left, Zhao Hu and his personal guards were preparing to visit the castle tower, there was a loud noise outside the door, and after a coquettish reprimand, it immediately fell silent.Not long after that, Zhou Wen led nearly a hundred women into the hall one by one.

Zhao Hu pointed at these young women with good looks and figures in surprise, and asked Zhou Wen, "Zhou Wen, what do these women do?"

Zhou Wen asked for credit and said: "My lord, these are all your maids. I selected them carefully in the whole city. They are all knowledgeable, intelligent and astute young ladies."

These women may have been instructed. As soon as Zhou Wen finished speaking, they immediately knelt down on the ground in unison, and said in a clear and soft voice: "See you, my lord!"

The voice was nice, but Zhao Hu was speechless for a while.

After entering the city, Zhou Wen disappeared. I thought he was going to control the stronghold, but I didn't expect to find these rich ladies as maids.However, Zhao Hu, who was about to say something, sighed helplessly in his heart when he saw Zhou Wen's tired face waiting for praise, nodded with a smile and said: "Well, you did a good job, then I will leave these maids to you Managed."

After being praised, Zhou Wen nodded happily as if picking up a gold coin and said, "Of course, I'm not in charge, who cares? Don't worry, my lord!"

Not to mention, with these beautiful maids, the deserted castle tower immediately became lively, and Zhao Hu soon had a place to live.

In addition, the guards are all high-spirited, and their postures are much taller and more aggressive, and Zhao Hu's personal guards are also unavoidable. Not only are their words and deeds more refined, but they also pay more attention to personal hygiene than before.

The next day, Zhao Hu got up accompanied by the most beautiful maids led by Zhou Wen.

When they came to the lobby on the first floor, Sun Jie, Aokede and other guards had been waiting for a long time. Zhao Hu sat down cross-legged and smiled: "You can do whatever you want. The southeast peninsula is not good in this respect. There is no chair at all. It’s hard for them to sit on their knees all year round.”

"Yes, there are so many trees in this place, why didn't I think of making chairs? It is said that this custom came from the East. It is really a strange custom. Yesterday, my subordinate sat cross-legged for a whole day, and his feet were numb."

After a few words, Sun Jiehala began to report the situation: "My lord, according to the inspection and inspection, there are more than 70 gold coins, more than 500 silver coins, and more than [-] million copper coins in the inner city. These gold coins and silver coins They are all oval in shape, and they are all one or two heavy, judging by the gold content, one is equal to three from the empire."

Zhao Hu didn't pay much attention to this huge number. He didn't know what it meant that a small city could hoard so many coins. On the contrary, he was very interested in the "pass" and couldn't help asking: "What is this?" What's going on?"

"My lord, this is one thousand copper coins, a long string, also known as a hanging coin. And we have one hundred copper coins for one silver coin, so there are no such names." Sun Jie said.

Zhao Hu turned his head and asked Oakd: "If we want to exchange money through exchange, should we transport copper coins back to the empire from here, then exchange them for gold coins, and then transport the gold coins over to exchange for copper coins?"

"Yes, my lord, the copper coin here can be exchanged for one gold coin in the empire, and this imperial gold coin can be exchanged for more than three coins here, deducting the cost. It's just two imperial gold coins and a few imperial silver coins." Oakd nodded.

Zhou Wen thought for a while, blinked and interjected, "It doesn't seem like there are many."

Oakd said dumbfoundedly: "Sister Zhou Wen, one or two gold coins is certainly not much, but if there are more, it will be very large.

"If you exchange all the gold and silver that Mr. Sun Jie just said into copper coins, one gold coin for ten guan, and one silver coin for one guan, Mingyue City now has about 1000 two million copper coins, which is 1000 if you exchange it for imperial gold coins. Two million pieces.

"And this gold coin can be exchanged for 400 million Southeast gold coins, that is, 4000 million copper coins, and these 4000 million copper coins can be exchanged for 4000 million imperial gold coins.

"Think about it, just this time, it doubled nearly four times, and once again, it became 300 million southeast gold coins, which can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of copper coins! After a few times, the number is terrifying to the extreme. !"

Because of Zhou Wen's dominance, Zhao Hu's personal guards all called Zhou Wen the eldest sister, but they deliberately forgot whether she was really the eldest sister.However, Zhou Wen's appearance, tone and demeanor made it easy for people to forget his true identity.
